Discord is the forum killer from what I've seen with other groups and communities so I'm not surprised if traffic nose dived because of discord servers that are say either official or topic focused groups.

They're going to be for at least a few weeks, what with people having to post 15 times to get all the tags.And I don't even think it works. Still no unlocking option for me despite having enough posts.
People on here are saying it works, yet Discord says it isn't true. So who knows.
It's just a ploy to get people to post here.
Is that really the case?

I always liked forums. It's sad that they're not as popular as they used to be, because I hate all the other forms of social media (except Discord).

Forums need something like a weekly discussion question in order to keep people active nowadays. Otherwise we just end up necroing everything..

Forums in general are dying off as a method of online communication. The internet moves too quickly nowadays for forums to work outside of niche cases. People want fresh content shared quickly. Forums are more suited to discussing a particular thing over a longer period of time, such as a specific game or book. For most people, they'd rather have a feed that's constantly changing (Twitter, Reddit) or instant messaging (Discord).Honestly I have to agree, forums for faq yype content are helpful or to get cimmunity guidance but managing a forum and participating in archival content is really a thing of the past.
